NORBA - Nordic Baltic Dialogues on Transnational Perspectives in Spatial Planning - is one of the Transnational Networking Activities, conducted under Priority 4 of the ESPON 2013 Programme. It aims to facilitate transnational dialogues on spatial planning between policy makers and practitioners, scientists and young academics and students in the Nordic-Baltic countries.

Partners of NORBA are the ECPs in Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Norway and Sweden.

NORBA holds its first conference “Transnational perspectives on spatial planning. Experiences from the Nordic-Baltic countries” in Stockholm on 3-4 February 2011. The conference aims at discussing the findings of transnational ESPON projects that bear particular relevance for Nordic-Baltic countries and the changing nature and role of planning in the Nordic-Baltic countries.

In addition, information will be provided on how to access and utilise the information and evidence produced by the ESPON 2013 Programme.
